In any case, readers should note that since this software update is a hacked or tweaked, unauthorised version of the Windows 10, there is high probability that installing this update could brick the handset. Also it is worth mentioning that the same XDA forum has reported problems and fixes mentioned by various Lumia users. Interested Lumia users can follow the Windows 10 technical preview installation procedure from XDA Developers to get the latest update. In the meantime, Giz Mag reports it was able to install the Windows 10 update to a Lumia 635 successfully. The same site also reports several Lumia 920 and the Lumia 520 users have reported issues after installing this update.

Other than the Lumia 720, the same update has worked reportedly well for Lumia 930 and Lumia 1320. But readers should note phones with such a low RAM configuration might receive only select features, notes GSM Arena, and as a result, may not get a wholesome Windows 10 experience. This includes Lumia 720 with only a 512 MB RAM. Many Lumia users have successfully installed the Windows 10 technical preview in their smartphones by following the step-by-step procedure listed by XDA Developers. Even though the beta version of the OS is not available for all Windows Phone-based models, XDA Developers has found a way to install Windows 10 on any Lumia handset. Towards the end of last week, Microsoft released the Windows 10 technical preview update for smartphones.
